Results of Investigations of Genotype and Its Influence on the Yield, Quality and Economic Effect of Virginia Tobacco in R. Macedonia

Abstract

SUMMARYInvestigations were carried out in 2014 and 2015 on the experimental field of the Scientific Tobacco Institute -Prilep. They included four introduced fertile varieties and three domestic promising hybrid lines in CMS form created in the Institute, with the standard Australian variety Ca-757 used as a check. The trial was set up in randomized blocks with 4 replications. The highest average yield per stalk (161,7 g) and per hectare (3 593 kg) was achieved in line V-79/09 CMS F 1 . The lowest yield per stalk (125,3g) and hectare (2 784kg) was recorded in the standard Australian variety Ca-757.The highest quality of tobacco raw, expressed through the average price, was obtained in the line V-79/09 CMS F 1 (1,51 USD/kg) and lowest in the variety Ca-757 (1,28 USD/kg). Also, the gross income was the highest in line V-79/09 CMS F 1 (5 434 USD/ha) and the lowest in the variety Ca-757 (3 583 USD/kg).With some variety lines, for some characteristics, there were statistically significant differences with 5% and 1% significant levels compared to a Ca-757.

Characteristics of the Newly Created Genotype of Virginia Tobacco Line V79/09 CMS F1 in the Region of Prilep During 2012-2016

“…The average yield value obtained from the five-year results is 3450 kg/ha, which puts this line in the group of high-yielded genotypes Risteski et al (2012). reported that male-sterile genotypes of Virginia tobacco created in the Scientific Tobacco Institute -Prilep had a yield of 3549 kg/ha (line V-53 CMS F1) Devčid et al (1982).…”
